Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 497-511, November 2025.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Ultrastructure and physiology of the CO2 sensitive sensillum ampullaceum in the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens [PDF]
Arthropod Structure & Development, 2000 The sensilla ampullacea on the apical antennomere of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens were investigated regarding both their responses to CO2 and their ultrastructure. By staining the sensillum during recording, we confirmed that the sensilla ampullacea are responsible for CO2 perception.

Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

Transport rate of capsules to leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens
Revista Ciência, Tecnologia & Ambiente, 2010 The search for new management alternatives in pest control is a constant in agriculture. In the case of leaf-cutting ants, the most widespread control is that which makes use of granulated bait with synthetic chemical active ingredient, whose attractiveness comes from the citrus pulp that composes it.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 3, March 2025.This paper describes the morphology and chemical contents of the pre‐pharyngeal and pharyngeal glands in two different ants. The results provide new insights about the morphology and compounds of the exocrine glands in ants. ABSTRACT Ants occur in a remarkable diversity of species, many of which fulfill essential ecological roles and exhibit complex ...

Pathogenicity of filamentous fungi towards Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2021 In the Neotropics, leaf-cutting ants are pests of great importance to various crops. The natural defenses and complexity of these ants reduce the impact of potentially useful pathogens for biological control. Furthermore, several types of research with entomopathogenic fungi usually focus on only a few isolates of well-known species, like Beauveria ...
